That way you will transfer the role to the new DC. There are other functions that you will perform but that is the first step. -----Original Message----- From: Adil Hindistan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 27 September 2001 14:11 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RID Master Question for PROs I have 4 Domain Controllers. One of them (called SIM1) which happened to have Infrastructure, PDC and RID Operation Masters crashed. We needed to built it from scratch. In the meantime I transferred Infrastructure and PDC Operation Master Roles to a Healty DC so we did not have any trouble with the clients. We used the same NetBIOS name SIM1 when installing the Active Directory at the new server. Problem arised when we tried to create a user. We received an error message about RELATIVE IDENTIFIER! I tried to transfer the RID Operation Master Role to another DC but received an error: "The requested FSMO operation failed. The current FSMO holder could not be contacted" Also in the Event Logs there are tens of the following error. _______________________________________________________ Event Type: Error Event Source: SAM Event Category: None Event ID: 16650 Date: 27.09.2001 Time: 14:45:20 User: N/A Computer: SIM1 Description: The account-identifier allocator failed to initialize properly. The record data contains the NT error code that caused the failure. Windows 2000 will retry the initialization until it succeeds; until that time, account creation will be denied on this Domain Controller. Please look for other SAM event logs that may indicate the exact reason for the failure. Data: 0000: a7 02 00 c0 §..À _______________________________________________________ So, now I am not able to create any object in this DC and I am not able to transfer RID Operation Master Role to another DC! However other DCs are OK and I can create any object in them which will be replicated to SIM1 Can anyone suggest a way to change the RID OM Role, which I think is the problem.
